Social Anxiety Is Literally Ruining My Life Right Now?

Question by Anna: Social anxiety is literally ruining my life right now?
Im like literally the quiet girl in school, well thats what the kids in my school think of me. Since nobody has heard me talk before, they either make me talk or the teachers would just give me detention because i wont answer their question that they told me to respond too. Everyday not just in school, but also in public, people either make fun of me on how i look, or how much i do weird things; For example: I would randomly bite my nails because its an addiction to me or because im nervous. Second, I won’t make eye contact with people or family and to them, they think im just blind… I have anxiety around people especially when i have to communicate with them; but that doesnt mean they have to judge me because im different and i dont talk at all. I know everyone is different but they treat me like im garbage and im a useless person whos born with a muted voice. My question is “Why do people treat me like this? Am i really useless to have conversations with? Is there anyway i can get over this anxiety without having to do Therapy?”
This year I was excused from my Geometry class to go to the speech therapist office at school and they say since im “shy”, they told me to use an ipad mini to use as an communication tool to talk to people with. I was happy about it. ^_^ but my mom wasn’t when i told her it was for communication; because she knows i can talk and she wants me to talk without using the ipad mini. My mom is like the adults in school who literally makes me talk even though im super scared to talk and later on makes me want to cry.

I can talk guys, only when im around my family. but when im around other people, it feels like im having a heart attack or im not getting enough oxygen that i start to faint… I really am that scared.

Help me please!!

Thts the exact thing tht happens to me! I talked with the school councelor nd she just made me cry nd made things worse. My teacher also forces me to talk. She stands next to me nd stares at me the whole geometry period. Tht just makes me even more quiet. I'm basically pushing myself to talk to others. I take deep breathes. At first i thought it wouldn't work but it actually works! Ppl r starting to talk to me but only bcuz they see me alone everyday :/
Start of little by little. First try to make eye contact with your family. Then move onti your classmates. Just tell urself nothings gonna happen if u make eye contact. It wont hurt. Then try to move on. It'll be hard but u have to try!
